Mike,
I would agree with Ed, in that even though the late war Type 14s looked a little rough, the great majority of the Type 14s were very well made. From the quality of the finish on yours, I would guess it to have been made in the mid-1930s, as the strawing of small parts was not generally evident in wartime produced versions. I have both 1937 and 1938 versions of the Type 14s and the quality of the finish is very close to matching P-08s that I own of the same vinatage.
As John indicated, George Anderson is very knowlegable and would be able to tell you more about your pistol.
